The Republic of Aureuliz is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 859 million Aureulizians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.5%.

The strong Aureulizian economy, worth 58.3 trillion Banais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is 67,855 Banais, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Demand for night vision goggles and boat engine mufflers has spiked, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', Aureuliz has designated Aureuliz City as its capital city, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aureuliz's national animal is the Bernese Mountain Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aureuliz is ranked 44,149^th in the world and 1,370^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 687.03 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
